Earlier Report Observations
From 2018 to 2020, the market for groundnut oil-cake in Morocco saw initial growth followed by a contraction. Production rose to 16,449 t in 2019, supported by the deregulation of oil-cake margins and the authorization of imports for seeds, oils, and cakes, which stimulated market activity. This upward trend was further encouraged by government policies aiming to develop rapeseed and sunflower sectors to reduce import dependence exceeding 90%. Output then fell to 14,901 t in 2020.
The market recovered from 2021 onward, reaching 16,208 t by 2023. This rebound was driven by global volatility in oilseed prices, particularly for soybeans, which increased import costs and incentivized domestic production. Long-term consumption of vegetable oils and cakes had risen by 38% over a decade, sustaining demand, while geopolitical tensions reinforced the focus on food autonomy and local output.
Regulatory and infrastructural changes continued to shape the sector. In 2021, the VAT rate on table oils was raised from 7% to 10% and extended to oil-cakes, affecting distribution margins. By 2024, new rules limited olive oil exports via licensing to stabilize local supply, and a new olive oil mill in Sidi Kacem with a residue valorization unit reflected a shift toward sustainable waste management.
